About Mark Atkinson

I am a passionate and innovative Executive Leader and Applied Scientist with Director, Operations and Innovations expertise focused on health, talent and high performance in complex environments.I believe we have many amazing people, programs and technologies that are effective given the right context - the major barrier to success in our modern world is implementation in practice.My specific expertise and interests focus on the solutions design, operational transfer and scale of evidence-based practices for proactive and sustainable health, talent and high-performance outcomes - I do this by understanding the complex systems in which we operate, connecting good governance, the right people and longitudinal data. I am guided by commercial, stakeholder and community value.I have multi-sector qualifications and lived experiences from community to high performance and practitioner to board room that have been tested across four continents. My track record includes collaboratively delivering millions in new, renewal, and R&D revenues and broader commercial value in complex but purpose-driven markets, national and international sporting successes, a world record, occupational readiness, work, health, and safety projects and services for enterprise, government, sports, education, and small business partners totalling more than 5,000 users, and the full life cycle development of a professional sports franchise.These diverse, lived experiences help me connect people and ideas with smart, human-centred data, technology and real-world implementation strategies to solve complex problems with creativity and vision.Persistence best defines my abilities - I believe nothing in the world can take its place.
